Headings and font sizes or highlighted text are creating a sense of tone that is keeping the interest of your audience alive.

The lack of visual hierarchy will confuse visitors and will downgrade the content of your post or article. It gives a look and feel of a visual monotony. So, you better avoid it!

Devil is in the details

Every little detail like colors, fonts, visuals and graphics are setting a personal and genuine voice. Simplicity is based on harmony and balance.

Choose specific fonts and only a couple of variations in different sizes for your texts and visuals. Use common logic and trust a professional opinion about what fits best for your brand. Grabbing visitors attention should be a top priority but should be done with respect to your brand’s main visual character and ID.

Follow Basic Graphic Design Rules

Try to remember that more than 65% of your digital audience will read your content via their mobile devices. So basic Graphic Design Rules DO MATTER.

Consistency adds value to your brand

Balance the weight of empty and full parts of your website by using alignment grids. Choose clean and tidy templates for your website with easy to follow build in structure.

A chaotic template will remain messy no matter how much effort you will invest to improve it. And a chaotic design produces visual noise and distraction.

Make sure that you use colors that make your brand look at its best. And stick with your main colors, fonts, structure and designs throughout all your digital footprints.
